Brighton are not expected to conduct too much business this January transfer window but they do have a number of players pondering their futures.
This window and the coming months will be crucial as Fabian Hurzeler's first team squad continues to evolve. It's also the first transfer window for new sporting director Jason Ayto as he assesses the players and their contract situations.
The Seagulls have already brought Pascal Gross back to the club at the start of the window and Hurzeler said they will keep a close watch on the squad and injuries to see if any potential deals are right for them.
But it's the summer window that could see more movement and here's Seven Brighton players likely to leave - and two who are keen to stay
